Classifications of the Hybrid Electric Vehicles: The hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) are the special types of vehicles that make use of two things together‚ i.e. conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) and an electric propulsion system‚ which together help in achieving fuel efficiency as compared to any other vehicle. The degree of efficiency and improvement provided by the HEVs depend on the degree and the type of propulsion systems they make use of. The engineers have succeeded in adding

Who Killed the Electric Car? Video Discussion Questions Summary: It begins with a solemn funeral�for a car. By the end of Chris Paine’s lively and informative documentary‚ the idea doesn’t seem quite so strange. As narrator Martin Sheen notes‚ "They were quiet and fast‚ produced no exhaust and ran without gasoline." Paine proceeds to show how this unique vehicle came into being and why General Motors ended up reclaiming its once-prized creation less than a decade later. He begins 100 years ago

THE RELATIONSHIP OF ELECTRIC FIELD INTENSITY AND ITS DISTANCE FROM THE CHARGED OPOINT PHYS-232 JIANSONG HE GROUP: Abstract This experiment was performed to find the electric field strength from different distance to the charged point. The field strength was determined statically‚ by measuring its electrical potential when subjected to loading‚ and dynamically‚ by measuring the electrical potential at different location on the conductive paper. The electrical potential was measured from three

Ten years ago our electric motor business was in real trouble. Low labor rates allowed the Eastern Bloc countries to sell standard motors at prices we were unable to match. We had become the high-cost producer in the industry. Consequently‚ we decided to change our strategy and become a specialty motor producer. Once we adopted our new strategy‚ we discovered that while our existing cost system was adequate for costing standard motors‚ it was giving us inaccurate information when we used it to

Most people would say that Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity but really he discovered the relationship between lighting and electricity. Otto Von Guericke discovered electricity in 1660 when he made the first electric generator. Joseph Henry would then invent the electric battery and would change the world. The very first portable electricity. People could power things they couldn’t before. Moving forward Henry Ford would use electricity and the battery to make the first assembly line and

OPERATING A FLEET OF ELECTRIC TAXIS ´ ´ BERNAT GACIAS AND FREDERIC MEUNIER Abstract. The deployment of electric taxi fleets is highly desirable from a sustainable point of view. Nevertheless‚ the weak autonomy of this kind of vehicles requires a careful operation. The way of managing such a fleet and the question of locating charging terminals for the vehicles are addressed in this paper. Methods for dealing with these tasks are proposed and their efficiency is proved through simulations. 1. Introduction
